When was the last time you stopped to consider what you’re grateful for? How do you express gratitude in your own life? In this issue we’ve brought together a number of talented artists to explore these questions of gratitude and how it shows up in Bali.

As seekers and travellers, we gather together within the pages of this new publication to share our collective wisdom. Here you will read about healing, holistic living, yoga, meditation, living foods and a host of other related topics.

Each one of us will find ourselves on the continuum of recovery at various points in our life. What canwe learn from each other, from Bali, from our own healing, from history, from research, and from our own contemplative practices? May the stories shared in this issue inspire us to restore and heal our planet, ourselves, and of course, each other.

Each of us has been touched, at one point in our lives, by leadership. Perhaps we were mesmerized by someone’s vision and charisma, or conversely, damaged by the guidance of someone who led us astray. In this edition we explore the complexities, challenges and myths that surround leadership, and ask the ultimate question: what makes an Inspired Leader?

Like Bali, this issue is full of love. Read about cross-cultural marriages, an epic love story, global knowmads, tanra, the challenges of growing up female, and how to love and look after yourself. There’s much to explore, so settle back & enjoy.

As usual we explore our theme from a number of perspectives, keeping our emphasis on Bali and how we understand and relate to food. These pages are full of interesting stories and photographs that we hope will keep you reading, cooking and eating a diverse and inspiring diet. Eat on!
